Lebanon’s Foreign Ministry said it had sent a letter to the UN Security Council asking it to document Israel’s aggression against Lebanon and demand accountability from the international community.
Lebanon asked the Security Council to “condemn the Israeli invasion of its territories and the violation of its sovereignty, as well as the widespread and ongoing attacks on its security and the safety of its people,” the ministry said in a statement.
According to the ministry, Lebanon wants the immediate implementation of Resolution 1701 to end hostilities and withdraw Israeli troops from Lebanese territory.
“Lebanon stated in the complaint that Israel always ignores international legitimacy and does not respect decisions taken by United Nations bodies, and that it does not comply with international law or international humanitarian law, avoiding accountability and questions from the international community,” the Lebanese Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
